Two young ones, ages 7 and 9, had front row seats from their driveway across from the tree removal. I joined them with my camera! I took these pics from the window upstairs; you can see the screen. Jeff asked for some wood and the men were so kind to cut it into smaller sizes. We'll have lots of firewood by fall. It was so heavy that the owner of the house went out to help pull down the trunk. Going down....................... There was a very loud sound when the trunk hit the ground.
Much of this cardigan was knit this morning while we skyped. It's fun to see the grandbabies in action! It's fun to see my "baby" looking so great too.
I resumed working on this project on Friday; it would go faster if I consistently stitched this quilt, alone, and not including it in a list of knitting, sewing, smocking, other quilt projects.
Oh yes, now I know why it looks familiar. Thanks for the help, Jen. There's a huge tree on Franklin Street and we saw the beans hanging. That season was long gone by the time we arrived at The Barn late March. Bob says the number of beans forming acts like a prediction for the severity of winter. Our tree is very small, rather young, and beautiful.
I love being married to the absolute best companion for life. I love being Mom, and now a Gramma. Grandbaby #2, a darling blonde chatterbox arrived on August 14, 2010. Grandbaby #3, a little boy, arrived on July 12, 2011. He is gorgeous! Baby sister arrived in August 2013 and what a beautiful baby! The most recent arrival is Augustine, 5th grandchild, born January 2014. Life is so good!
